Etymology
Dimensiune entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of the wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. It comes from Latin dimensio, dimensionem, a noun built from the verb dimetiri, meaning to measure out. That verb combines the prefix di- (apart, thoroughly) with metiri, to measure.
